EDUCATION FOR INTERNATIONAL AMITY
IT is reassuring in these days of ominous darkness
over the world to be privileged to hear such a
man as Sir Herbert Brown Ames, former treasurer
of the League of Nations, recount the positive bene
fits that the league has brought to the world in
its brief career.
Despite the optimism of Sir Herbert, recent
months have not been the sunniest of times for the
League of Nations. The apparently hopeless dead
lock of the Geneva disarmament conference has,
by some curious line of reasoning, been blamed on
the league, which sponsored the conference. Italy
suggested that the league be abandoned entirely.
Britain has not seemed strongly opposed to the
proposal. Various European diplomats, even a few
French, have recommended the virtual emascula
tion of the league by divesting it uf almost all
power.
The league has hail many disappointments, it
must be freely admitted. Critics aie quick to point
out that the "international debating society" failed
utterly to halt Japanese aggression in Manchuria.
They forget that the league was acting without
nenefit of the assistance of Russia and America,
the nations best able to threaten Japan.
The world takes little note of the invaluable
peace-time activities of the league, and too many
persons fail to realize that failure of the league
would mean a return to diplomatic intrigue, secret
treaties, “defensive” alliances all the undercover
international dealings that brought on the World
war.
The disarmament conference failed, not because
of any weakness of the league, but because of the
blind nationalistic selfishness of statesmen who will
not accept the risks of disarmament. Removal of
uiscussion from the league’s auspices could not help
the situation, and might make it impossible.
The world has been enduring through 19113 a
period of high-riding economic nationalism. Rut
there are, neveitheless, increasingly large numbers
of people in this country, as well as in others, who
are becoming international-minded. It is by edu
cation in world politics and world economics that
such views will become crystallized and forced by
the nations of the world upon their diplomats, who
must one day learn that the league is the sole pos
sible nnswei iu the plea for international amity.
And it is just such educational endeavor that Sir
Herbert is carrying on.
HO! FOR THK BUSTER
\ NOTHER spring is with us. and once more we
are in the midst of the annual sun-bathing
season. We prepare ourselves to feel like peeping
Toms for the next four months.
For on fire escapes, on lawns, on porches, on
roofs, bevies of broiling brutes will be sprawled
practically as God made them, quietly and slowly
turning from white to red to golden brown.
Every self-respecting male between the ages of
9 and 3S will be busily contracting a blistered torso.
And sooner or iater he who ventures upon the bath
ing beach with gleaming alabaster body looming
like a lighthouse will be as popular as a leper.
Some few lean, lissome youths will burst almost
full-blown into a coat of lovely brown. Other
wretches wiil spend hours of carefully rationed time
in the sun, with cocoa-butter and witch hazel in
hand, and will be rewarded only with a sickly yel
low or a case of galloping sunburn. And they shall
suffer the torments of the damned.
The Ubangis, or some such tribe, have a reason
for making their women stretch their lips until they
resemble platypi. The Arab slave traders used to
drop in on the tribes and carry off the dusky
beauties. The device was used, we understand, to
make the gals unattractive, and indicates both great
ingenuity and a passive attitude toward beauty.
But we can boast of :-.o such excuse. No raiders ;
from the north are going to pounce upon us, carry
ing off those with lily-white bodies. Our parboiled
dermis is entirely our o' -n idea. Which makes us ;
just two laps behind the Ubangis in horse-sense.
SPEAKER HUNTINGTON
REPORTS from Salem indicate that Charles A.
“Shy” Huntington, former Oregon football
coach, is a likely candidate for speaker of the state
legislature.
This is pleasant news to those who have stuck
pretty close to the mill-race for a number of years.
They will fondly remember when the Oregon foot
ball song, “Down the Field,” was sunk like this:
. . We’ll give a long cheer for Shy’s men,
We’re out to win again,
O. A. C. may fight to the end, but we will win.”
A lot of water has run under the bridge since
those early post-war days. Oregon rooters now
sing the more gentlemanly version of:
. . We’ll give a long cheer for our men,
We’re out to win again,
Oregon will fight to the end and we will win.”
And the man who engineered the winning foot
ball teams of those years went into business and
then into state politics.
The campus is glad to see Shy doing all right
lor himself at Salem. If he is as successful bossing
a pack of quarreling statesmen as he was in turn
ing a bunch of apple-cheeked lads into football
players, he'll be running the statehouse in a week.
On Other Campuses
College Takes Care of Everything
QEVERAL American universities and colleges
^ have recently announced particularly unusual
courses in their curriculum. Some of the courses
include ‘‘Nut Culture" at Oklahoma A. & M. col
lege; ‘‘Ping Pong” at the University of Iowa;
“Charm" at Rollins college, and "Sleeping" at the
University of Iowa.
It just goes to prove that colleges are rapidly
preparing to take care of every present day prob
lem. There is probably no drowsing in the lecture
room of these courses, and one would suppose that
the class attendance is large. With these results
in mind why shouldn’t the University qf Kansas
follow the path of its contemporaries and install a
few such courses of practical instruction?
For example it might open a course in “How to
Cram," for students who leave the majority of their
studying until the last tew weeks. Then a study
in “Correct Cribbing" would no doubt assist many
who are now doing it rather clumsily. “Perfection
in Apple Polishing" would be welcomed by some,
and a student enrolled in this study should expect
a definite raise in his grades or no fee. A course
which should prove particularly popular for many
coeds, and some men, would be the evasion of date
acceptance, ami also appointment breaking. This
course might be labeled “Artful Dodging."
There is no doubting that the installation of
these courses here would make students more eager
to learn, and education would become truly popu
lar. Daily Kansan.
Student Interest
RE university students interested in national
and international affairs? Yes, declare many1
student publications, magazine writers, and others
who are supposed to be in position to know whereof
they speak. Changing economic conditions in the
past few years have had a sobering effect on the
men and women attending colleges and universities,
they say.
What, then, is the conclusion to he drawn *at
the University of Colorado, when it is revealed that
only 29 ballots have been marked in a poll to obtain
student expressions concerning the foreign policy
of the United States government? Apparently.
Colorado students are not interested, and have
failed to follow the general trend supposedly evi
denced in other institutions. So it would seem on
the face of the returns, which mark a two-weeks'
campaign on the part of The Silver and Gold to
obtain a student expression.
We can hardly reconcile ourselves to the belief
that Colorado University students are more of the
old-time "rah-rah'' college movie type than will be
found in simitar institutions throughout the nation.
Perhaps the explanation lies in the thought, "What
does it matter how we mark our ballots? Nothing
will come of it anyway."
Whatever the attitude taken with regard to the
ultimate effect of a student vote, such a poll does
give students an opportunity to do a little serious
thinking on the subject. Colorado Silver and Gold.

Explaining the Dry Ordinance
(From the Eugene Register
Guard )
T> EV. FRANK S. BEISTEL, pas
tor of United Lutheran church,
who presented to the city council
the ordinance creating the dry
zone around the University, Thurs
day issued a statement explaining
the motives behind his action. Fol
lowing is his statement:
“Since I offered to the city coun
cil last Monday night the ordinance
which it passed creating a dry zone
around the University, I feel under
obligation to offer some explana
tion of the motives and reasons
that prompted this action.
"I am no fanatic on the prohibi
tion question nor a fighter but a
sane, thoughtful citizen desiring
the best living conditions for my
self, my family and my neighbors.
To human welfare, I have dedicat
ed my life and continue to find
life’s greatest joy in this service. I
have a deep personal interest in
the University. Six of my children
have been students therein and an
other hopes to enter next year.
Anything touching the University,
therefore, lies near my heart. I am
in some position to enter into the
feelings of the 2,000 fathers
'throughout Oregon concerning the
iiving conditions for their children
at our school. Who has a better or
a greater obligation to seek the
best ?
“I, too, have been in college and
have seen some of my best friends
go down because of drink. Alcohol
will do just the same to some of
the fine young people of our Uni
versity. Perhaps I can do nothing
about it but I would feel myself a
coward and unworthy of the re
spect I enjoy in Eugene if I would
not engage actively in curbing the
evil.
“After the prohibition laws had
been repealed and the city council
had up‘for consideration the regu
lation of the gale of 3.2 beer, uni
versity authorities, the two most
responsible for student personnel,
came before the council and urged
a restricted zone around the Uni
versity. The council acceded to
their wishes and established such a
zone. Other schools have sought
and have obtained similar restric
tions. I know no better way. Per
haps the critics of the new ordi
nance know no better way,
“Citizens of Eugene should re
member that only a short time ago
they frantically appealed to the
people of the state to keep the
University in Eugene and urged
that this city was an ideal place
for student life. All was true but
we have a very solemn obligation
to keep it so. The desires of wet
citizens or their business interests
must have less consideration in
planning our laws than the 2,000
student guests and the 500 more
university personnel who are here
at our invitation and request.
“That beer-loving students or
citizens will not stay in any reser
vation drawn around their door
steps is well known by zone advo
cates. Neither would they respect
city, county or even state limits.The
zone will have no effect on them.
There are many others less thirsty
and on the border land of influence.
To the degree of favorable condi
tions they will refrain. Others are
ardently dry. Which group should
be favored by regulatory laws ?
Most certainly there ought to be
one dry zone around the Univer-j
sity, providing the most favorable
conditions.
“The city council realizing its j
responsibility faced the criticisms
they knew would descend upon
them and voted a dry zone around 1
the University. Whether it is legal-:
ly effective or whether their ac-1
tion is only a suggestion to the
liquor commission are matters for
the law to determine but the de
sires of the councilmen to do their
honest duty should be recognized
and commended by all right think
ing citizens.
“I appeal to the citizens of Eu
gene and to the students of the
University to give it a fair and
honest trial. If its results are not
good I will join with the council in
seeking its repeal. But what has
been done comes from good mo
tives of honest citizens.”

STUDENT body meeting today in'
^ 104 Journalism.
The dean of women down at j
r.C.L.A. must be on a spot
right now. It seems that one
of the Thetas down there eon
traeted searlet fever, and as a
result the whole house was
put under quarantine. The un
fortunate part of the matter is
(from her standpoint) that
four lads were in the house at
the time, and they, too, are
forbidden to leave it. It works
a great hardship upon them,
of eourse, but last reports in
ti ieate that they are bearing
up well under the strain.
We might suggest to our
own dean of women that if
any one of our sororities
breaks out in a sudden red
rash, she would do well to de
termine whether it actually is
searlet fever or merely eare
fuliy applied merouroehrome.

Here's the disgusting sequel toI

that it was NOT a sea serpent at',

might be made.
All the time we are being

entire faith in human nature.
It seems that in our psych
lab section there is none other
than Mary McCracken. Mary
has, been hailed far and wide
as the purest, the most de
mure, not to mention prim,
girl under the banner of Al

being given a word-association
test, in order to detect what
her innermost thoughts were
the words she mulched up. The
class was waiting breathlessly
while the instructor popped
words at her.
“Knife," says he.
“Cut,” says Mary.

“Car,” she answers brightly

tion to the opening' scenes.
Ttie story is of the rise to fame
of Raft, who starts out in aniekel

Emerald of

By JIMMY MORRISON
T AST night was revival night at
^ the Essex House.you know,
the Colonnades, from where eman
ates the Camel hour with Casa
Loma. Glen played "Moonlight and
Roses,” ‘‘Roses of Picardy,” and
“Only a Rose” as only his Casa
Loma orchestra could play them.
Connie Boswell's singing “Ala
bamy Bound” must have convinced
the radio-listening public once
more that she is the Crosby of
torch singers.
The band featured Harry Barris’
new strike tune, “Little Dutch
Mill,” and featured it well. Eut
even if it is possible that you don’t
get a chance to hear this band in
its full half-hour program Tues
days and Thursdays at 7 over KSL,
don’t, for gosh sakes, miss the
whipper that comes in at 7:25
sharp. That is always the one that
the “boys” sit and wait for in
eagerness. Last night’s whipper
was the “Washington and Lee
Swing.” You wouldn’t recognize it
after the first chorus. They did it
up brown in true Casa Loma style,
which has made them the most
unique orchestra in the country.
The applause was tremendous, and
don’t say it was produced by elec
trical transcription!
And then people say Guy Lom
bardo has a good band. Why, Lom
bardo is lousy. He has only two
brass. They play so far apart it
sound like two men selling fish in
different sections of New Haven.
That terrifying brother of his does
n’t do him a whole lot of good,
either. And those awful saxes . . .
Paul Whiteman was given a lot
of credit for making something out
of the jazz that was being played
around 1926. He rose to great
heights and remained there for a
long time, but who knows what
he’s doing now? Playing, proba
bly, and making more than you
could “shake a stick at,’’ but he
really isn't in the running any
more. Even Lombardo, and Jan
Garber, and Cole McElroy and
some of the other so-called good
bands are more prominent.
This afternoon Joe Darby, hey
hey Phi Delt pianist, will play for
15 minutes over KORE, starting
at 4:30. Joe has played many
times before for the Emerald-of
the-Air, and there's nothing corny
about him. He plays a fine brand
of piano. So don’t forget, Joe
Darby at 4:30 today.

“Bird of Dawning” will give the

thrown John Masefieldians into
such delighted stirrings. Sixteen
men facing danger, starvation,
thirst, drowning, madness on the
briny large. Probably real heave
ho-ey, as Masefield usually chants

“Looking Back on Life” catches
George Robey, the noted English
comedian, in revery. Sir James

a survey and commentary on the
writing of the priestly prosodist,
Father Hopkins.

The Evening News literary sup
plement says of Henry Williamson,
author of “The Beautiful Years”:
“He can narrate,” which doesn't
mark him from the file of authors,
but the thing must have been

The only new book of verse to
arrive is “The Collected Poems of

They say that Agnes Rotherty’s
“Sweden, the Land and the Peo

“Long Remember,” the Literary

catches passion and cuckoldry in
the crossfire of the northern and

Rather an uncommon tale, if one
can pass on it after merely skip

Another Literary Guild selection
is “The New Dealers,” which pur
